Unsolved Question about a Screaming Frog crawling issue
-
Hello,
I have a very peculiar question about an issue I'm having when working on a website. It's a WordPress site and I'm using a generic plug in for title and meta updates. When I go to crawl the site through screaming frog, however, there seems to be a hard coded title tag that I can't find anywhere and the plug in updates don't get crawled.
If anyone has any suggestions, thatd be great. Thanks!

@KyleSennikoff Hi there! It sounds like you're encountering a common challenge. Check your WordPress theme files, especially header.php, for any hardcoded title tags. Additionally, ensure that the plugin-generated title and meta updates are reflected in the betflixs HTML source code. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the plugin's support for assistance. Good luck.

@Kateparish Thank you for giving your solution information. I am now using the rank math plugin for my WordPress website.

there are a few possible explanations and solutions you can try:
Theme settings: Some WordPress themes have built-in options to set a default title tag or meta description for your website. Check your theme settings to see if there's a section where you can modify the title tag. Look for options like "SEO" or "Header" settings within the theme's customization options.
Child theme modifications: If you're using a child theme, it's possible that the hard-coded title tag is coming from a modification made within the child theme's files. Review the code of your child theme, particularly the header.php file, to see if there's any direct reference to the title tag.
SEO plugin conflicts: It's possible that there is a conflict between the generic plugin you're using for title and meta updates and another SEO-related plugin installed on your WordPress site. Try deactivating other SEO plugins temporarily to see if the issue persists. If the problem is resolved, you may need to choose one plugin for managing your SEO metadata.
Caching plugins or server caching: If you're using any caching plugins or server-level caching, it's possible that the changes made by the plugin are not immediately reflected due to caching. Clear the cache within the caching plugin or purge the server cache to ensure that the latest changes are being served.
Plugin compatibility: Check if the generic plugin you're using for title and meta updates is compatible with your current version of WordPress. If the plugin hasn't been updated in a while, it may not work correctly with the latest WordPress version. In that case, consider finding an alternative plugin or contacting the plugin developer for support.
Manual inspection: If you've exhausted the above steps and the issue still persists, you may need to manually inspect your website's code. Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the source code and search for the specific hard-coded title tag. This will help identify where it's coming from and allow you to make the necessary modifications directly in the code.
Remember to take a backup of your WordPress site and its database before making any changes to your theme files or modifying the code.

Unsolved Duplicate LocalBusiness Schema Markup
Hello! I've been having a hard time finding an answer to this specific question so I figured I'd drop it here. I always add custom LocalBusiness markup to clients' homepages, but sometimes the client's website provider will include their own automated LocalBusiness markup. The codes I create often include more information. Assuming the website provider is unwilling to remove their markup, is it a bad idea to include my code as well? It seems like it could potentially be read as spammy by Google. Do the pros of having more detailed markup outweigh that potential negative impact?

Indexing Issue of Dynamic Pages
Hi All, I have a query for which i am struggling to find out the answer. I unable to retrieve URL using "site:" query on Google SERP. However, when i enter the direct URL or with "info:" query then a snippet appears. I am not able to understand why google is not showing URL with "site:" query. Whether the page is indexed or not? Or it's soon going to be deindexed. Secondly, I would like to mention that this is a dynamic URL. The index file which we are using to generate this URL is not available to Google Bot. For instance, There are two different URL's. http://www.abc.com/browse/ --- It's a parent page.

Earlier the dynamic URL's were indexed and was showing up in Google for "site:" query but now it is not showing up. Can anyone help me what is happening here? Please advise. Thanks0 -
